i sailed yesterday... i sailed, inconsistently, i think the change in season has brought up what i had not realised previously, that i'm not quick in light air, and i question my own tactics too much. i question why, but get no answers, perhaps i lack confidence? perhaps i am a child, set in front of a sheet of paper with numbered dots to form a picture, i just dont seem to be joining the dots with the pencil that i'm holding, or, im joining the dots in the wrong order. fancy thinking of tactics coming downwind but doing the exact opposite having rounded the bottom mark. Valencia was in top form and is really quick in the light air, i on the other hand have been sailing in heavy air. well at least im on the water on saturday so i can work on speed and other things that need work such as boat handling... on the bright side, MJC has new sailors so hopefully i get pushed more so i will be able to improve. Wen's agreed to come sailing on saturday so that will be quite fun i hope... ahh... light wind work has to be done, as well as loosing weight in preparation for the sing siam regatta, i doubt the wind will be strong like in previous years, then again it was light wind at last regatta in Singapore. Just dont capsize (: i wonder who else from the squad will be racing a radial...
thinking back, the first SSR i raced a laser in, was when i was fresh out of the byte. sailing's fun even though its frustrating at times =) note to self: get a Ronstan ballbearing microblock for the outhaul and a new, thinner and longer outhaul line... Gym tmr and running on tuesday... im determined to loose whatever excess fat i have! haha... fat = dead weight, muscle = power & works for you...
